Anything but Labor Day for me. Of course, me trucking up to Canada is kind of questionable in any case (I really want to, but vacation time may prohibit), so I think Craig should probably win this one if it comes down to the two of us.

"To insure a pain free married life, you MUST use one of these two responses to anything she says..."

No, actually all you have to do is find a Sweetheart like I did!

While we were in Florida one of her girlfriends started complaining that her boyfriend had just spent $300.00 on a surround sound system for their livingroom.
Linda asked "What did he buy?" Sort of indredulously...
And when the girl started saying somthing to the effect of "Oh there are speakers on top of the TV and speakers on the walls..." Linda cut in with,
"No, I meant, what kind of CRAP did he buy for $300.00?"
Then she told them an approximation of what I have just bought, with a decent guess on what I had spent, and proceeded to tell them how happy she was with how happy it makes me!
That's My Girl!

Regarding back rubs, that reminds me! It's SPA CENTRAL up here, if that helps convince your S.O.! Ian's favourite spa is the one on the snowmobile trail with a hot tub to wait in while I get pampered . . . And my fave new gift for baby showers is pregnancy massages, rather than the latest osh-kosh overpriced overalls!
